          One may wonder why the Display Change History setting is on the Margins/Border/Edge subpage rather than the Editing subpage. Well, the answer is simple; the history is shown in a “margin” on the left side of the editing window.

            They may be looking at the image in the issue that’s linked to Change History and since it was my image, I’ve updated my comments to put some context before the image:

            (the below is NOT an actual screenshot, but a created image to show a concept - this is not in the real Preferences dialog window)

            Hopefully that will clear it up though I’m sure people see the pretty picture and ignore the words just before it!

            Cheers.

              Also, and sorry to continue polluting this thread with non-criticial-problem stuff, but… LISTEN UP PEOPLE: DON’T BE TOO HASTY WITH WANTING TO TURN OFF CHANGE HISTORY! We know you hate any kind of change and just scream for your old functionality back, but this is a killer feature, at least give it a chance!

                @donho Does the UI on the Margins/Border/Edge subpage need a slight adjustment?:

                • Display Change History Margin
                • Display Bookmark Margin
                • Line Number Margin

                Again, apologies as this is not critical…

                  The fact of these settings being in the subpage implies they are margins, so it’s not necessary IMO.

                    Hello, dear Notepad++ Community,

                    if Notepad++ v. 8.4.6 is started using command line “-openSession” switch with BookmarksDook (2.3.3) plugin, it display bookmarks to the left of the text but does not display bookmarks in the plugin window. The session files are created with Notepad++ v. 8.4.5. Previous installation, the Notepad++ v. 8.4.5 displays bookmarks from the same session files properly.

                    Please check this.

                    Thank you.

                      Very easy indeed, thanks!

                      @Michael-Vincent
                      TBH it was 3AM my time, so those “concept” words you added could’ve been giant siren lights and I still would’ve missed it. Pretty pictures are king unfortunately. :)

                      My suggestion for the “change history” is maybe add a quick toggle for it somewhere around here;
                      https://i.imgur.com/ZQK8SlG.png

                      Like I don’t hate it, and could find it useful on occasions, but 90% of the time I wouldn’t need it, and so it’s distracting more then not in my case.

                      Noticed that it also require a reboot when changing on/off, so maybe a toolbar toggle is out of the question either way.

                        Exiting and reloading Notepad++ is sufficient. You do not have to do a full reboot of the OS/PC.

                        And you can turn off the feature without a restart; you only need to restart Notepad++ when you toggle it from off back to on.

                          I’ve completed the latest CSV Lint 0.4.6 updates just yesterday. Is it possible to still include the latest nppPluginList in this Notepad++ release?

                          I try to do the plug-in updates in between regular Notepad++ updates so that the Plugins Admin always has the most recent version (doesn’t lag behind too much), but it’s hard to keep it in-sync because Notepad++ doesn’t have a regular release schedule afaik.

                            No. Probably should have prepared it during the RC phase, when it had a chance to get it.

                              @Alan-Kilborn ok I understand, I’ll keep an eye on the Announcements posts more, and try to plan the timing of plugin updates better.

                                First time posting, but longtime Notepad++ user.

                                I’m having printing problems that began with the upgrade to 8.4.6. The printed page has black text on a dark grey background, making it almost unreadable. This behavior is also visible in “print preview”. It affects all files, including newly created test files.

                                Printing returns to normal if I turn off “display change history”.

                                  I can confirm, something is broken.
                                  See comparing results with my AnalysePlugin
                                  https://sourceforge.net/p/analyseplugin/bugs/92/

                                  reason is that with commit 9455684b429449f668c1aedb77ec9dcb1642c244
                                  the value of the blue circle bookmark did change

                                  -const int MARK_BOOKMARK = 24;
                                  ...
                                  +const int MARK_BOOKMARK = 20;
                                  

                                  But this constant value is part of the Bookmark interface used in SCI_MARKERADD message.

                                  Proposal would be to change back the number, so that plugins can maintain using the blue bookmark as before.

                                  please, comment

                                    Not going to happen. Plugins will need to adjust. The bookmark value needed to be changed to accommodate for change history feature from scintilla which uses that marker number (24).

                                    Cheers.

                                      Plugin authors should use NPPM_ALLOCATEMARKER to allocate marker ID, instead of using hard coded value:
                                      https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/src/MISC/PluginsManager/Notepad_plus_msgs.h#L368

                                      Here is its usage:

                                      
                                      int newId = 0;
                                      BOOL isOK = ::SendMessage(nppHandle, NPPM_ALLOCATEMARKER, 3, (LPARAM) &newId);
                                      
                                      // If the value of isOK is true, you allocate your marker IDs successfully.
                                      // Let's say newId is 4, so 4 is your marker start ID, and you have allocated 3 markers - 4, 5, 6 are the 3 IDs reserved in Notepad++ for your plugin.

                                        That is good advice, but only for plugins creating something new. The reference here, as far as I can tell, is to the BookmarkDook plugin, which needs to use the same marker Notepad++ uses for (existing) bookmarks. As that is changed, the BookmarkDook plugin author will have to change as well.

                                          That is good advice, but only for plugins creating something new. The reference here, as far as I can tell, is to the BookmarkDook plugin, which needs to use the same marker Notepad++ uses for (existing) bookmarks. As that is changed, the BookmarkDook plugin author will have to change as well.

                                          So in this case, a new API NPPM_GETBOOKMARKMARGINID will be made for plugins which use Bookmark Margin.

                                            However, I’ve just checked the ID of bookmark margin, there’s no change (_SC_MARGE_SYMBOL):
